Jumbled Stuff

Boy I sure have missed all you blog-buddies.

This week has been one that I don't wish to relive. But I will cause I know you all are dying to know where I have been and what has been going on.

As you all know from my last post Richard has been having some pretty bad pain. Well I'm glad to report that the Doctors have finally figured out a pain medicine regimen that is working well for him. After much trial and error this has been a huge relief.

Anyhow Sunday night Kim came to spend the night so she could watch the boys for me on Monday since they were out of School for President's Day.

So while she was already staying the night I figured I would come up to the Hospital and spend the night with my Hubby cause he was feeling pretty rough.

At 5 AM I was woken abruptly by a wave of nausea and severe stomach cramps. I was sick. Sicker than Sick. Oh it was bad. I was laying in the recliner with a washcloth on my head trying to get my composure so I could somehow manage to drive home so I wouldn't give this new sickness to my honey.

At 7:45 AM Kim calls and Jacob was laying on the bathroom floor crying in pain with this same Sickness. So I managed to pull myself together long enough to be able to take the long walk to the parking deck and drive home. WORST TRIP EVER!

So needless to say Monday and half of Tuesday was spent trading toilet space with Jacob thanks to our 1 bathroom. (Richard we need another bathroom... please) As well as washing every piece of bedding, scrubbing the toilet in between visits and trying to sleep while having the worst stomach cramps ever.

Now on to Wednesday. We all 3 got up got ready for school and work. Made sure Jacob got on the bus. Calob and I loaded up in the car and drove to MIL's because they are taking him to school since I have to be at work by 7:30. Anyhow on the way there I had to pull over as Calob flew from the car and started throwing up.

Yep now Calob had the dreaded sickness. So I called my boss laughing cause it was kind of funny to me at this point. I think I was going crazy. So Wednesday and Thursday was spent nursing Calob.

Finally we made it to today. I am at work and both boys are at school. I haven't heard from any school nurse so I am guessing we are all recovered.

I am here in Richard's room where I have been loving on him for the past several minutes because through all of this I couldn't see him. I have missed him terribly. Thank goodness we are all better.

Also thank you who have sent cards. So far we have received 7 they have been great, some of you really got creative. Richard is loving it. So keep them coming.

Thank you all for your continued prayers. Richard's pain is under control as of now. Praise God! They are going to do his PFT's on Monday and he may get out of here after only a 10 day stay instead of a 14 day one. YAY! YIPPEE!

Disney is in 21 days. 21 DAYS! Oh my gracious I have so much I need to do. SO MUCH. Richard and I both need a pair of tennis shoes. His are wore out and I don't own a pair. Yes you read that right out of the 65 + pairs of shoes I have nary a pair of tennis shoes. Richard is desperate need of new shorts and t-shirts. I need to get a couple of pairs of capris and some t-shirts. The kids have plenty of clothes and they just got new shoes the first of January. So their good to go. Yep like all of us good parents the kids have it all while we wear holy pants and stained shirts. haha

I also have got to reserve the electric scooter for Richard. There are several other things I need to work on. I just am slightly overwhelmed. It'll get done. 21 days is gonna fly by.

I'm so ready for this trip. We all are!

I apologize that this post is all over the place. This is my brain here lately. All over the place.
